About de

Every sale pays de directly.A meaningful share of each purchase goes to the artist.

Olivia de Bona is a Paris-based visual artist whose practice is rooted in a rigorous education in Applied Arts and Animated Film. Born in 1985, she draws upon her mixed European and Vietnamese heritage to bridge the gap between the raw energy of urban art and the disciplined precision of traditional craftsmanship. As a member of the 9e Concept collective, she has established a presence in the Parisian art scene through a dedication to labor-intensive techniques and narrative depth. Her work is defined by the meticulous application of wooden and straw marquetry, a process that reflects both Viennese Art Nouveau and Vietnamese wood carving traditions. By focusing on femininity and mythology, de Bona creates dreamlike scenes that inhabit the quiet, in-between moments of life. Her craftsmanship has been recognized in major solo exhibitions and public installations, including recent showcases in London and Paris.
